Dead Men Laughing

Description

For aspiring comedian Park Chanyeol, being funny is no laughing matter. The assistance of a meddling but well-meaning ghost named Baekhyun only complicates matters further, but it might be just what he needs.

 

 

Foreword

 

Hello!

This is the fic I wrote for the recent Chanyeol-centric fic exchange called Yeolliepopday. It's a big part of the reason I haven't written anything new lately, lol. The other reason is because I  

It's quite different to what I'd usually write, given that it's technically a Krisyeol fic, and it has supernatural themes. There is a lot of Baekyeol interaction - more so than between Kris and Chanyeol - but because Baekhyun is a ghost, they only feature as a friendship pairing. So yes, Baekhyun is dead, but this is established from the beginning, so there is no actual character death. I just thought I'd point that out anyway, so that people can choose not to read it if they don't want to.

 

Warnings: Language, ghost!Baekhyun, slight angst

Disclaimer: Baekyeol to Krisyeol ratio is roughly 3:1. (Apparently I need to clearly state these things now, lmao)

 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy x

Chapter 1: somedays ago i see this thread talk about reading fanfic slowly makes you believe that yixing is a doctor, because there'll always dr. Zhang you can call in terms of medical conditions, lol but who dare to object precious Lay as our doctor..

may i say i learn quite a lot by reading your fanfic , since english is not my native and things just different in my country comparing to the setting of the stories, it's personally excite me to acomplishing in understanding and following them, i might miss some spots, like i need to google what sweetbread is before cracked up late, hehe forgive me

And chanyeols position in this story especially with his highschool friends kinda similar with me right now, and I'm so get that, the knowing but choose to ignore, i know we shouldn't waste our time with people who doesn't even deserve it, yet there i was trapped in my own insecurities, because what if it's just me being envy and ugly dramatic unsupportive friend, but friends wasn't supposed to drag you down just to make them feel better, right? friends is place where you're not afraid to share your dreams and stories because you know they'll always got your back.. and sadly most of times i just ignore those facts even though i too rather be 'square' by all sincerity..

i like reading your stories because i feel that you deliver most humanly problems one can have in real life, in beautiful and engaging writings, i like it that you build your main character to grow to be a good soul, and when i said i learn a lot from your stories, i mean it in a way that you helped me to figure out things in life, things that may be i have missed to learn at school, or at home..

i really want to say thankyou so so much ♡

Chapter 3: I come for Chanbaek, and I got cute Krisyeol.. haha it's just hard for me to imagine it.. I just too love height difference~~ hahaha

But really, I do can relate with the story, I mean, in the middle I found myself nodding in agreement with what you wrote..

It's just one thing I regretted that Chanyeol didn't see STI LL HE RE.. huhu.. :(

Chapter 3: 2/2
The krisyeol was really cute too. I liked that conflict ofc of yeol missing his performance and leaving kris to , and that being a catalyst to something much bigger than just a broken promise. From the get go it was really obvious they cared for each other, and even though yeol hurt kriss feelings over the missed gig and kris may have said things that hurt yeol, in the end they stillcare for each other very deeply. I know kris will always support yeol too. (Also baek... Good job, best wingman award. Hihi that bit was so cute im in love)
Really i can only see things going uphill for yeol now. I just really hope that he doesnt get lonely when he remembers baek, but be happy instead. Also i like to believe baek would still be able to make his presence known every once in a while, a visit so to say kekekek
Ahhhh thank you for writing and sharing this!!!!

Chapter 3: I think it goes without saying that this isnt something im used to reading at all... That being said im pleasanty surprised at how much satisfaction i was able to derive from this fic
Ill be honest i dont really read krisyeol, but because inte foreword you said there would be more baekyeol scenes that krisyeol, i decided to go at it. I went into the fic being a disrespectful reader thinking maybe i can ship baekyeol in this instead. Oddly enough though, i didnt see them as more than just reall good friends, baek being someone yeol could count or rely on, and yeol being someone that could make baek feel real. Baek was obviously a key player in this fic in that he may have been annoying at first but in the end hes a huge part of how yeol was able to believe in himself when hed started feeling hopeless. He was really supportive and i really believe yeol needed that. Though it could be seen as an unhealthy kind of attchment, all i could think about was how thankful i was that the two of them became friends. I also really believe in that part about yeol being something like baeks ticket out of earth, i only because maybe baeks unfulfilled dreams or emptiness caused by dying when he wasnt really ready were all ready to be passed on to yeol who cares enough and be filled by yeol. Needless to say it really did my heart in when baek started disappearing, but that last bit with "still here" left an ache in my heart, but a good kind of ache. Where ever baek may be now, the fact that he'll remain in yeol's mind and heart when he does and doesnt perform is whats really important to me. Im happy 1/2

Chapter 3: I liked this story, just my heart is aching for Baekhyun and the 'still here' message he left. I feel so bad for some reason, but still awesome story ^-^

Chapter 3: This is why I am not in friendly terms with angst...I always feel extremely sorry and cry for one of the characters...tho I'm glad Chanyeol ended up happy and Baekhyun sort of completed what he had to do...but the appearance of the words STILL HERE on the stellar theatre got me bad, I could almost imagine Baekhyun crying and screaming for Chanyeol's attention (tho I'm not sure whether that really happened or not) this is beautiful...

Oh poor Baekhyun, his story is so sad. Still, I'm glad they got to meet and that Chanyeol got his happy ending. :D

Chapter 3: This was amazing. I was sad when Baekhyun disappeared, but the flickering sign was an amazing touch. While on the whole it was a bit bizarre, it wasn't at all unlikeable and I fact, I loved it~

I'm off to go find more things to spam you about. ^^

Chapter 1: I'm only on the second scene (haven't even made it all the way through the first chapter yet) but I felt compelled to point out that one of Chanyeol's jokes could conceivably be "last time I brought the house down - literally, a light fixture fell on my head."

Onwards XDD this is looking fabulous so far. 8D
